Thread: Isuzu MSA Gearbox to LT230

I can't give away all the secrets. But the information is in that picture for a rakeway style shaft.

My current setup has changed since that picture.

Assuming rakeway is solid one piece, then bore into flange end, spline bore hole to fit stub output shaft of Isuzu box, with bearing support inside adaptor tube?

From my experience, if you want to get info from Rakeway you need to call them. Emails will not get answered. Neale is the guy to speak too.

Wasn't there discussion about using a flexible union in between two flanges inside the adapter housing?

The other method, if you have a male to female splined stub shaft don't you need to lubricate the internal splines?

Has anyone spoken to Sheldon in the last month? I'm not able to get a hold of him at all. I'm getting concerned as I've paid him money for the MSA box and conversion kit and he's not returning my calls.

I've been attempting to reach him for over three weeks now. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Hi

He is hard to get hold off sometimes but dont think he has done a runner with your money. he is not like that. just keep trying to ring him.

I didn't think he was like that. Otherwise I wouldn't have paid the cash to him.
Just concerned about the non-contact. Also feeling pressure as I have a trip planned for May. If I don't have the box by the end of April I'm in trouble as my box is dead.
Would have thought that if someone has paid him money he would answer phone calls and respond to emails and texts.

He does go over seas a bit, not sure if its work related or not.
